FLUID-DELIVERY DEVICE FOR RECEPTACLES.

Specification otLetters latent.

Patented Dec. 5, rain.

Application filed October 25, 1915. Serial No. 57,842.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. WAoK, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of lVaterloo, Blackhawk county, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fluid-Delivery Devices for Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in fluid delivery devices for receptacles, and the object of my improvement is to supply for an inverted fluid container means for permitting the delivery of its contents to a syringe or other receiving means, the device being adapted for suspension and being easily assembled or disassembled. This object I have accomplished by the means which are hereinafter described and claimed, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a vertical central cross-section of my device including the inverted container, with parts broken away. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is an upper plan view of the supportingmeans and delivery-head of said device, with the container removed.

Similar numerals of reference denote cor responding parts through the several views.

My improved device is particularly intended for use in connection with Mason fruit jars, but of course, the delivery-head thereof can be modified and applied to any other kind of a fluid container.

I have shown the jar 1 having the usual eXteriorly-threaded contracted open top 14 to receive the usual interiorly-threaded covering cap. I have provided a similar covering cap 2 whose closed end 3 is made outwardly convex and supplied with a central delivery tube 1- having an enlarged nipple 5 to receive and hold one end of an elastic tube 6, the latter leading to a syringe or any other receiving means.

The numeral I denotes a hoilow tube, one end of which is flattened at 8 and provided with a transverse orifice 9, whereby it may be suspended. from a nail or other support.

This tub m is bent into a Ushape, having an wardly-directed unequal limbs 7 and ll, of which the limb 11 is shorter. The shorter limb 11 is passed through an orifice in the upwardly centrally into the inverted jar l 5 when the latter has been mounted within the threaded part 2. Inthis position, the hollow 10 of the tube 7-11 affords communication between the atmosphere andv the upper part of the interior hi the jar 1, so that when a supply of liquid has been placed within the jar, and the latter inverted so that the upper level of the liquid isbelow theupper end of the tube part 11, no vacuum can exist within said jar or be generated therein when the" liquid is being delivered therefrom. '1

The numeral 12' denotes an elastic crossbar medially fixed on the tube 7 and has its end parts bent forwardly and slightly curved inwardly at 13 to supply elastic holding clips adapted to releasably clasp said jar. 1. By this means, when the tube '2' is suspended in elevated position, said clips hold the jar securely, and-sufficienthead is provided in the liquid in the 1211' so as to 7 cause it to be delivered with a desired impetus from a. syringe or other delivery means connected to or in communication with said flexible tube 6.

Since the delivery-head 2 is of a suitable size and form for use with the ordinary Mason type of jar 1, which'is inexpensive and may be purchased anywhere, in case of breakage of the jar, another may be readily supplied without delay and at a minimum expenditure. 4

Since the cross-bar 12 will contact with the wall upon which the devi'ce'may be suspended, its angles will prevent rocking of 'the devicehnd insure its stability while in use.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is:

In combination, an inverted container having a basal delivery-opening, a closure detachably secured across said opening and having a delivery-nipple, a U-shaped tube, one limb of which is passed through said closure and sealed therein, extending. up": wardly intothe container to afiord communication between the atmosphere and the upper part of the container, the other limb of said tube having terminal engaging means whereby it may be detachably suspended upon a stipport, an elastic bar fixed trarisverse1y upon said tube to contact at relatively widely separated places with said sup port and prevent rocking of said device, the ends of said bar being bent forwardly to form opposed clips adapted to releasably embrace said container.
